The tank can also be outfitted with a 105mm gun for greater offensive power. In halo 4, the tank fires a anti tank missile instead of the shell in previous games. This is similar to some modern tanks such as the Russian T-72 and T-90, which are capable of firing missiles. The missile is slower, but seems to be capable of tracking flying targets, although it is not very manuverable and can only begin tracking when in close proximity to the target. <ref name="Halo: The Flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 153''</ref> | ||
